Background Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a clinically heterogeneous disease in
which the risk of disease is influenced by complex genetic and environmental contributions. …

Genome-wide association studies have recently identified at least 15 susceptibility loci for
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). To confirm additional risk loci, we selected SNPs from …

Ongoing inflammation including activation of the complement system is a hallmark of
systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Antimicrobial neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are …

The complement system involves both the innate and the adaptive immune systems and has
important roles in the pathogenesis of SLE. Complement deficiencies within the classical …

Using the light-cone formulation of dynamics, we construct cubic self-interaction terms for
massless fields of arbitrary helicity λ. The coupling constants have dimension [length] λ− 1 …

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease with marked gender and
ethnic disparities. We report a large transancestral association study of SLE using Immunochip …

The complement system plays a major role in the autoimmune disease, systemic lupus
erythematosus (SLE). However, the role of complement in SLE is complex since it may both …

Objective To evaluate the specificity of expression patterns of cell‐free circulating microRNAs
(miRNAs) in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Total RNA was purified from …

Objective C1q deficiency is the strongest risk factor known for the development of systemic
lupus erythematosus (SLE), since almost all humans with a genetic deficiency of C1q develop …

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) have a markedly increased risk to develop
cardiovascular disease, and traditional cardiovascular risk factors fail to account for this …
